Throughput improvements from a package-advancing lane merge and infeed algorithm

Equipment manufacturers offer various options to accurately space randomly arriving products for a subsequent operation. The technology is available, but many times the planning and implementation process, cost, space requirements and maintenance can strain a company’s resources.

Complete pre-engineered Solution Packages™ such as Yaskawa’s Synch-Belt™ random product in-feed can significantly lessen that strain, while solving the operational challenge of synchronizing product flow. Synch-Belt™ is a single-lane product phasing application for machines such as cartoners and case packers that require evenly spaced products.
